Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 fingerling or small Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled and thinly sliced (1/8 inch thick)
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 cup firmly packed spinach leaves, washed, drained, and stems removed
1 cup firmly packed arugula leaves, washed, drained, and stems removed

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 400°.
2

Heat olive oil and butter in a medium (9- or 10-inch) ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes, and cook, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes or until potatoes are slightly tender and brown. Add onions, and saute about 1 minute or until slightly wilted and translucent.
3

Add spinach and arugula, and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute or until spinach wilts.
4

Whisk together eggs and next 4 ingredients in a bowl, and pour over vegetables.
5

Remove skillet from heat; drop ricotta by the teaspoon onto frittata, and sprinkle with basil.
6

Bake at 400°, uncovered, for 13 to 15 minutes or just until eggs are set around the edges and slightly loose in the center. Remove skillet from oven, and let stand for about 5 minutes, loosely covered. Cut into wedges, and serve immediately, or cool and serve at room temperature.
